Down in Macon Georgia there's a woman waitin' for my six foot frame I got her picture in my mind as I head down the turnpike out of main I'd better think of something else or I might stick my rifle through the floor I'll go through hell and half of Georgia till I hold her in my arms once more Now I don't mean no disrespect to the states I travel through all the time I just get awful anxious till I put myself back on that Georgia line Roadsigns they all look the same until I see those Macon City lights I been through hell and half of Georgia but she'll make it worth my life tonight
I coast down through grapevine a glass of it they call a load of wine I know I oughta sleep some but baby's hot and heavy on my mind Don't need no help to get me back and I won't lose no time along the way That old Jimmy understands that if we're runnin' late there'll be the devil to pay Took on the fuel in Nashville and Chattanooga's what the last sign said My hardest drivin's over and the half of Georgia's lyin' straight ahead I've breezed straight to Atlanta and only have a few more miles to go I've gone through hell and half of Georgia now I can count the minutes till I'm home Ah look at all them pretty Macon City lights And I'm thinkin' about that pretty Macon chicks whose gonna make my night tonight And the second thing I'm gonna do is shut off my rig easy big guy
